Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs) is characteristic of cancer cells. Multiple pathways that prevent GCRs, including S-phase cell cycle checkpoints, homologous recombination, telomere maintenance, suppression of de novo telomere addition, chromatin assembly, and mismatch repair, have been identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, pathways that promote the formation of GCRs are not...
